GMAT, TOEFL iBT Intensive Exam Preparation private lessons

A partir de 55 $ /h

University of Chicago graduate with over 10 years experience in standardized exam preparation offers intensive specialized training for the Verbal section of the GMAT and for TOEFL iBT with guaranteed significant score improvement.
The GMAT is required for most MBA programs worldwide, of which the top 100 use it for 90% of their admissions. Its Verbal section (Sentence Correction, Critical Reasoning, Reading Comprehension) is quite different in its focus on the logic and construction of phrases and arguments rather than language rules and vocabulary, typical of other exams. I will help you gain real understanding of the question logic, and extensive practice by working only with authentic questions from past exams (hundreds of questions of various difficulty levels) and supplementing with extra targeted exercises from my eclectic collection of the best resources. This serious exam requires intelligent preparation, there are no superficial shortcuts and tricks like those one may easily come across. However daunting the GMAT may seem, you can actually score at least as high as native speakers (I have had students score in the 700’s), thanks to a more analytical and formal approach to English. What is awesome is that GMAT preparation will not only increase your test score, but also give you logical and analytical skills useful in any aspect of your academic or professional life.
The purpose of the TOEFL is merely to make sure you have the necessary English skills to study in university, with a focus on communication and understanding. Thanks to my long academic experience in American universities and preparing hundreds of students for the TOEFL exam, I can help you significantly improve your written English production for the two different TOEFL writing tasks, as well as your pronunciation and fluency for the six speaking tasks.
The methodological and individual approach will definitely boost your skills and confidence and give you a more efficient and effective preparation than group courses can.

Acerca de mí

My passion is helping ambitious students achieve their academic dreams and I know what it takes to succeed on standardized exams, both as a student and as a teacher.
Thanks to my high test scores (over 90% on TOEFL, SAT and GRE ) I was admitted to top U.S. universities with a full scholarship and a full stipend.
Also I have taught TOEFL, Cambridge certificates and GMAT preparation courses for over 10 years. There is nothing more rewarding than having been part of the success of my students.
I have a C1 level in French and a B2 in Dutch, so I am familiar with the ‘faux amis’ between the languages and some typical difficulties in grammar and pronunciation.

I have facilitated workshops and given classes throughout my career all over the world.

English pronunciation is essential these days because English is spoken everywhere and all the time.

I followed specialized training such as the verb tonal method, Feldenkrais or mental coaching.

We are therefore going to work in a slightly different way by combining articulatory techniques, movement, rhythm, intonation, warming up of the jaw and tongue, stretching of the neck, neck and shoulders to arrive to very fast results.

Since I believe that the learning environment is one of the keys to successful language learning, I endeavor to make students feel comfortable and content in my lessons: to ask questions if they are unsure and keep an easy but rewarding pace of learning.

Depending on how my students feel they learn English most effectively, I adapt my lessons to use materials that give them the best results possible. For instance, some students find the continuity of a coursebook effective, while others prefer to be more flexible with articles and podcasts. I know from experience that every student is unique.

I adapt my lessons according to my student and what they wish to work on or explore further: grammar exercises, reading or pronunciation, listening comprehension.

Trained as a translator, I lived in Great Britain for seven years. I taught French as a foreign language at the University of Edinburgh. I also have several years of experience teaching English in Belgium.
I work on the 4 skills related to learning a language: reading, writing, listening, speaking.
Among other things: grammar review, vocabulary learning, conversation and pronunciation improvement.
My course materials come from several teaching methods, but I am also ready to create new lessons depending on my learner.
I am ready to come to my student's home but I can also adapt my video course given the current circumstances.

Hello everyone and welcome to my English and or German lessons taught in group. I organise English and German lessons for children and teenagers and separately adult English group lessons (beginners to advanced). For children and teenagers, interactive activities are used as a way to motivate them, help them remember what they have learned in class and make sure they will be able to apply their language skills in real life context.
For the adults lessons, depending on what the students are willing to learn, we can have discussions based on the news, some grammar, writing... I am open to any suggestions, just tell me your needs and I am going to adapt the next lessons for you. If you wish to invite your friends and make a group with them, just let me know and I will allocate you a time slot.

For private English lessons, please have a look at my other advertisements. The German lessons are usually for beginners/ intermediate (exceptionally advanced levels in German can be organised only if there is a high-demand).

Don't hesitate to contact me should you have further questions. It would be a huge pleasure to integrate you in one of my classes. :-) Lessons usually last 50 minutes.

Hello! I'm a native speaker with 10 years of experience in teaching English as a Second Language and Business English. I also offer proof-reading of essays, dissertations and business documents.

My speciality is particularly with Europeans who are attempting to improve their level for commercial, educational or career reasons.

A little about me: I'm Irish and recently moved back to Brussels - with my partner Filipa from Dublin and we are based in Uccle.

I'm looking forward to meeting new students and can meet either in person in Brussels e.g. at ULB (University Libre de Bruxelles), or in the comfort of your home - to be discussed. As a backup online through Zoom, but much prefer in-person, as it achieves better results.

Thanks and hope to hear from you soon. Kevin

Hello everyone!
My name is Maria, a Venezuelan musician residing in Belgium. In the world of art, languages and cultures are a fundamental part of being able to understand each other and connect with each other in order to create something beautiful together, in my case music. Apart from being an artist, I like languages and learning them has become a passion for me, which is why I decided to take this passion to another level.

During my classes I want to help you learn my native language, which is Latin American Spanish, in a personalized and dynamic way.
The classes are separated by levels (A0-B2), where you will learn the grammar of the language but also vocabulary and expressions to use on a daily basis with other speakers of the language.
My idea is that each student learns the language at their own pace but understanding and daring to speak it from the first day. Support material (book, exercises, audios, etc) is always included.

Classes can be individual or in groups, both online and in person (Brussels, Belgium).
Classes will be given in English and Spanish.

Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
I hope to see you soon and start discovering and learning this beautiful language!

Greetings,
Maria.

¡Hola a todos!
Mi nombre es Maria, musico Venezolana residiendo en Bélgica. En el mundo del arte, los idiomas y las culturas son parte fundamental para poder entendernos entre cada artista y conectar para poder crear algo hermoso juntos, en mi caso la música. Aparte de ser artista me gusta los idiomas y aprenderlos se ha convertido en una pasión para mi, por eso he decidió llevar esta pasión a otro nivel.

Durante mis clases quiero ayudarte a aprender de una forma personalizada y dinámica mi lengua natal, que es el español latinoamericano.
Las clases están separadas por niveles (A0-B2), en donde aprenderás la gramática de la lengua pero también vocabulario y expresiones para usar en el día a día con otros hablantes de la lengua.
Mi idea es que cada alumno aprenda el idioma a su ritmo pero entendiendo y atreviéndose a hablarlo desde el primer día. Material de apoyo (libro, ejercicios, audios, etc) está incluido siempre.

Las clases pueden ser individuales o en grupos, tanto online como en persona (Bruselas, Bélgica).
Clases se darán en Ingles y español.

No dudes en contactarme si tienes alguna pregunta.
¡Espero verte pronto y comenzar a descubrir y aprender este hermoso idioma!

Saludos,
Maria.

I offer English lessons focused on reading, writing, and speaking skills, immersion in the culture and history of the language and English-speaking peoples, and I use methods tailored to each student to ensure the fastest and most lasting progress. To achieve this, I utilize a variety of resources: traditional exercises (grammar, spelling), oral and audio exercises for pronunciation and comprehension, music and games, educational videos, and more.
I attach great importance to writing by hand with a pen and not just typing on a computer, as well as to non-traditional learning methods (films, music with lyrics, games) because this engages different parts of the brain more deeply and makes it easier to learn and retain information.
I guarantee personalized learning methods and support for each student, as well as a significant improvement in level in less time than would be required via traditional platforms.

This language course is aimed at beginner children and teenagers wishing to discover or learn the basics of English, Spanish or French.
The lessons are designed to be fun, interactive, and progressive to facilitate learning and maintain the motivation of young students. We work on basic vocabulary, listening comprehension, speaking, pronunciation, and the first notions of grammar through games, simple dialogues, and activities adapted to the student's age.
The goal is to give students a solid foundation in their chosen language while developing their confidence and enjoyment of learning.
